Bar Crudo: Fun atmosphere- very fun area, great seafood. This is in Nopa- go to Bi-Rite before for an ice cream– eat dessert first!

Nopalito: Amazing Mexican- you need to wait but it’s worth it- you can call in and put your number down. Get the Pisole Soup and the carnitas are absolutely fantastic.

Coquetta: Really good Spanish tapas on the Embarcadero

Park Tavern: Great for bruch- get the avocado toast

Rose’s: This is a local brunch spot for people in Pacific Heights- very much a locals place- smoked salmon breakfast pizza is an old favorite

Presidio Social Club: There is nothing really special about this, but it is fantastic location, great wrap around porch, in the Presidio. There is a very cool old school bar there. It is rumored you can get a foie gras burger there … because it is on Federal Land- not California. Not confirmed…

Ocean Taqueria: Lower pac heights- this place looks scary- but it is outrageously good – get the carne asado burrito with onion and peppers.
